Welcoming the Lunar New Year ✨

This workshop fuses mindfulness with movement to welcome the Lunar New Year. Together, we will explore and practice traditions for the Lunar New Year, while also setting intentions for the year ahead.

Wednesday, February 18th, 8 PM - Link in bio to register ✅

Opening & Context: The workshop begins with a brief grounding and arrival, followed by an overview of the Lunar New Year, the four major lunar phases (new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter), the symbolism of the Year of the Fire Horse, and 2026 as a Numerology Year 1. This section sets the thematic foundation of renewal, leadership, and new beginnings.

Release & Intention-Setting Ritual: Students participate in a guided release ritual to let go of outdated habits or beliefs, followed by intention setting aligned with the Year of One and Fire Horse themes of courage and self-leadership. Reflection is done quietly and individually to support emotional safety and focus. 

Lunar-Inspired Yoga Practice: A thoughtfully sequenced yoga practice moves through grounding, strength-building, expansion, and integration, inspired by the lunar phases and Fire Horse energy. The practice emphasizes steady momentum, strong standing poses, heart-opening postures, and accessible modifications, making it suitable for a range of experience levels.

Closing Meditation & Integration: The workshop concludes with a guided meditation and visualization to seal intentions, followed by a brief closing reflection. Students are encouraged to carry their intention forward as they move through the new lunar cycle.

Love Your Low Back ❤️ A must for those craving an in-depth look at how to support pelvic lumbar health, a reduction in pain, and the ability to move in the world with a greater range of motion.

Sunday, January 18th, 1:30 to 3:30 PM (South Side). Link in bio to register.

In this workshop, we will explore a variety of drills and fundamental exercises for core strength and spinal stabilization, as well as advanced massage techniques to release muscular tension.

🚨 New classes have been making their way to the schedule at all three studios! Stay tuned in the coming days as we highlight of few of these new offerings! ✨

First up, Monday evening Rest + Renew with (8:30pm, South Side). A few words from Cassie herself on this new offering…

“As we descend deeper into autumn, we are invited inward. Stillness recalibrates the nervous system and restorative yoga increases heart rate variability improving our vagal tone. This gives us a higher capacity to navigate stress, challenge, and change. Time alone with the body and breath builds resilience, so we can become steadier and more present for ourselves and in our relationships. Taking responsibility for your inner landscape is a profound way to deepen our understanding of the now. Restorative practices strengthen our ability to respond, rather than react, as we practice clearing the slate with stillness and returning to our breath.

In rest and renew you can expect yin postures that stretch connective tissues paired with restorative shapes that promote mental and physical relaxation. These practices have ability to recharge and refresh mental acuity and physical energy.”

Taking matters into our own hands 🙌

Experience the benefits of self-myofascial release techniques to alleviate muscle knots and tightness with the use of tennis balls and other yoga props.

Work from head to toe – literally – to target areas of tension; some areas to note are the upper back, shoulders, and neck, hips, and the hands and feet. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn a new way to restore balance in the body. Plus, who doesn’t love a massage?! ✨

Link in Bio to Register!

Fall is upon us 🍁 A few friendly reminders as we embrace the season ahead:

- We highly recommend registering for class in advance.
- If you advance register & later find you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your registration so others can fill your spot in class.
- Please keep in mind the start time of class & try to arrive a few minutes early to settle in. We recognize life happens, but please be mindful of the instructor’s & your fellow classmates’ time by having your mat ready to go when class is set to begin.
- While we always encourage class participants to stay for the entirety of class, if you know that you will need to step out early, please alert the instructor in advance. If possible, please set your mat near the exit to minimize disruption.
- Please silence your cell phone & store it away from your mat. If for some reason you need to keep your phone with you during class, please alert the instructor before the start of class.
- Everyone appreciates a tidy yoga space & we all can help to make that happen by avoiding shoes on the studio floor, cleaning up any food or drink spills, and stowing props in their designated homes after class.

No mater what happens though, we love you 🫶
